You mean the one's people put in their forum names? Usually after an M or an O? The Ironman brand has the 'M-dot' logo, so the dots mean they've finished an ironman race. Some put just one, others one for each finish. Others don't bother.
I did not bother with dots in my name as I did my first Ironman in 2000 long before this forum got going and chose my name then to represent my two main interests - triathlon and my dogs, which people often mistake for wolves! The prefix Bionic is a recent addition after a titanium hip implant operation.
DK, inspired! How long are you going to keep it that way?
I like the principle though. I can't wait to see management's faces when I start signing off client emails as Em.ily!
I still feel like I haven't completed this triathlon and I'm jut a bit of a fraud, maybe adding excess punctuation would help it sink in... (I do like a 'dot dot dot'!)

Goblin Princess, I was trading places on the Southern loop of the bike at Outlaw with an Emily, until she gave up being sympathetic on the 2nd loop and decided to leave me for dust..........don't tell me that's yet another female pirate that I was chicked by?

What dots?
Others add iron to their name (Iron Goblin?)
Or ultra to their name when they do one of those
Do you mean my dots or the ones in the forum names .........one is easier to explain than the other

I just have a stutter when i type
Well if you have just done Outlaw, you can be Go.blin Princess?!
I've opted not to have a dot after my m even tho I could, but I have gone for OX as its a bit like the outlaw logo on it's side.
I thought the OX was something to do with your eating habbits during training
and im just taking the piss now
never done an oly !
and forgot about the dua's
Now I am intrigued as to the reason for all the extra dots

There are double and triple IMs, even a DECA - 10 x IM
but most people put ultra in their name as they have done ultra runs

How come you are not ultra ultra ultra seren....?
How come Im no longer O.C....
You can only have so much punctuation
Speaking of Welsh, , is a microwave really a 'popty ping' ? This is either genius or me being gullible.. Please help.
I think you are beyond help Muffin
Seren, please rescue me and prove I am not yet beyond help,
Isn't this normal behaviour for post IM cherry popping?
Nope ........
until i do the ultra 100
if i changed it now my post wouldnt make sense - but then again have i ever ?
sorry muffin..I had gone to bed.............yes microwave is either popty ping or microdon
Seren,, thank you for the confirmation That is a brilliant translation.
Can anyone think of a better example of 'foreign' language?
